Thursday, November 12, 1942 It` Just Ain't Healthy :November is 'make out' month. Accelerated like everything else, the open sea- Ii..)1;0 for student activities, elections, appointments, mid more elections and appointments, and then congratulations and more congratulations, has lie , tri transplanted into mid-Fall instead of the tr,,ditional Spring change-oVer. Despite the differ eni:e in the weather the whole business hasn't anged much. Again the Liberal Arts students are outstand ing by their prevalence in practically all major llogtions. The majority of the candidates for poi iticai offices, the heads of publications, the IF.C. and AA nominees are all predominatly LAers or close to it. Only the council groups represent an even distribiltion over the schools. Naturally there are reasons for this trend. Lib eral Arts schedules are lighter thus giving the 1;13/ dents enrolled more time to delve into the extra-curricular field. A good percentage of their education comes from experience gained in these tivities. ...Gut it stands to reason that these experiences would be of equal benefit :to technical students. Xi. is accepted that activities should not come be- J!ore curricular work. Unfortunately some forget this, agreeing that it is true but doing nothing about it in their own specific cases. • Therefore the question arises, ."can technical ‘.li.udents participate in activities and at the same gain the maximum of benefit from actual classroom work?" Past campus leaders taking technical courses, such as Len Krouse, twice class t , oresident, Lew Corbin, Tribunal Head, and Pappy 3 - !,artholemew, 1941 senior class president, all ,dar ed to invade the Liberal Artists' activity den and Caine out unscathed scholastically. Exceptions -1.11.1e, but exceptions to a tune-worn trend and not i.o a proven axiom. Dominance of one group in any set up isn't wise. Student activities thrive on competition. ,And they're supposedly open to all, so why the concentration? It just ain't healthy. —R D. S. A New General—Apathy Announcement that Independent '45 has failed io dominate a slate to run against the Campus `45 machine leaves many Penn Staters wondering ,again about our democracy on this campus. With q.he one-party situation, a small clique, numbering 4i") more than 100,sophornores, can control class offices for the next term, and the clique chair -wan, if he is strong enough, can virtually dictate the class bosses. No reflection , on Campus '45. 'Rather it must be given credit for building.a machine so strong that the Independent opposition chooses to present no ,late at all rather than face an alrriost certain de feat. The Campus sophs can not be accused of 4)aving a dictatorial leader, for.the party demon recently that it will nominate the person the clique as a whole wants. Nevertheless, there is a general apathy about campus, whether it be lack of interest to fight for a class office, attending a nominating convention, or signing up for pre-induction. Lately this apathy ))as been more in evidence. It was pointed out in an article yesterday that 49 of Penn State's 6,000 students turned out for the nominating convention, and 32 of an expected 'l2t) signed up for Army leadership training. Why a student meeting wasn't called to make sugges tions for the class gift might also be attributed. 4.0 an expected lack of interest. If students don't who spends their $25,000 funds, or to what (o• projects their $5,00) for ti CiaS , 3 %vitt h derWeraey to ;)! P. —orthe Penn State 0114.1.rian Vv eAJthlished 1887. Lewis L.

Either you're not a bit discriminating in your tastes or you are by this time sick of reading all the swan songs that have been appearing in this newspaper during the past week. But tradition has decreed that all columnists shall write swan songs, and we humbly comply. Here goes: Tempus Sure Does Fugit Five normal, and two and one-half accelerated semesters ago! Just think of it! C'mon, damn think of it! Time certainly does fly, doesn't it? We are all agog, atwitter, adither, and nearly aghast at this discovery. Gee whiz, gee, holy smoke, and oh, gosh. In four academic years we've had dances, bluebooks, rain, football games. beauty queens (it says here), quiet evenings at Doggie's, rain, wild evenings at Doggie's, more football games, and widespread disapproval of student drinking on the grounds that the quaint practice of gutter-reclining discourages the use of borough parking meters, thereby raising the cost of living for boro council. Aw, nuts, every thing was so lovely. (Editor's note: Certain Col legian columnists have at times sunk to incredible lows in trying to fill up that white space.) Having gotten those touching sentiments off our chest (and on our conscience), we'll ignore the usual gossip about publicity-seeking. and publicity-shunning students, and devote a part of this column to unburdening our soul of a sup pressed desire. Some Collegian :columnists sign! off by crying, "We ain't mad at nobody," and by bitterly denouncing themselves as colossal stink ers. Others wail, "We wuz robbed by coming to . Penn State end we want our time and money back." As for us, we've always wanted to be re garded as an authority on spOrts and never got the chance until now. So here is our football • prediction for this Saturday's . game: PENN STATE 93, PENN 3; STATE 17, PENN 7; STATE 61/; . AA, PENN 3.1416 (as easy as Pi); PENN 21, STATE . 6; 'STATE rah, PENN, boo; STATE 13, PENN 7. Making ell these predictions saves us the annoyance of being razzed, since one of the above is bound to be accurate. But, just in case, we'll prove we're taking no chances: STATE . . ~ PENN . . . (Fill scores in while waiting in the ticket line Saturday night at 10th and Arch.) After that there is no possible justification for our writing any more columns. Besides, our in•- clination for writing any more is merely so-so, so so long. —DOM GOLAB, As show in• " L n ife " CHRISTMAS CARDS Reproduced from original paintings by men in the armed services NOW ON DISPLAY on ASSORT NITS EXCL.USIVE PUS Mademoiselle . • Mr. & Mrs.;..• Juvenile 4 See these before boring your cards for Christmaii .
